I've been going through the charts and checking out acclaimed albums that I have ignored, and after album after album saying "what is all the fuss about", here is one that I'm feeling. Bangin' beats with some nice variation on the hooks by Polo mean the production is great, and while G Rap sounds very much like Scarface sometimes (or Face sounds like him), the man can spit and narrate. The only thing that lets this down is that on a few of the storytelling tracks, like 'Train Robbery' for example, the beat could do a little more. Nevertheless, if you like artists like Scarface, Geto Boys, Big Daddy Kane's early stuff and so on, you should love this.
Best Tracks: Crime Pays, No. 1 With a Bullet, Operation CB, Two to the Head
